C170 Soul Blood Palace Assassin
This mountain range wasn't large. Lin Hao rode on the back of the fierce tiger, and it only took him a quarter of an hour to get out of the range of the mountain range and arrive at an open plain.
According to what Sunn Wuji and the others had said, after getting out of the portal and walking 150 miles southeast, they would arrive at the Freezing Sky Holy Land. With their current speed, Lin Hao would be able to reach there in an hour.
The Demonic Tiger was running at full speed. The wind was whistling by Lin Hao's ears. All of a sudden, he felt a sense of danger rising in his heart. Lin Hao pressed his palms on the back of the tiger and jumped up.
The Demonic Tiger that was running in front of him was cut in half from its mouth. Half of its head fell to the ground.
If Lin Hao hadn't reacted in time, his body would have been attacked as well.
Lin Hao landed steadily on the ground. The True Martial Eye had already been opened. Only now did he realize that there was a line in the air in front of him that was even smaller than a strand of hair.
Gold Silk!
Lin Hao instantly recognized the origin of this thin line. This kind of thing was extremely tough and could cut things. It was extremely sharp, and because of its tiny size, it could prevent the spiritual energy from probing. It was very difficult to find it. It was often used to set traps. Even some Fourth Level Demonic Beast or Elemental King Stage warriors would be split into two if they accidentally bumped into it.
The Heavenly Marks Sword slashed forward, cutting off the Gold Silk in the air. After that, Lin Hao found that there were still many of these Gold Silks in the surroundings.
There were no Demonic Beasts in this plain. There was no need to use these precious Gold Silks to hunt. Obviously, someone had set up a trap for Lin Hao in advance.
In addition to the Gold Silks, Lin Hao also found many poisonous insects wriggling on the ground. They didn't look conspicuous, but their toxicity could easily kill Origin Core Stage martial artists.
Lin Hao coldly harrumphed. The person who set up the trap was obviously very experienced. Many traps were connected to each other. As long as one fell into one of the traps, even if one escaped, they would still fall into another series of traps.
However, these techniques were nothing to Lin Hao, who had already taken precautions against them. When he casted the True Martial Eye, Lin Hao could move freely in this area filled with traps. Soon, he passed through this area.
There were many shrubs in the surroundings, but Lin Hao did not discover any traps or energy waves. He walked forward for more than thirty miles, but there were no abnormalities.
However, no matter what the surrounding environment was like, Lin Hao did not let down his guard.
Lin Hao knew very well that he had encountered a trap the moment he came out of the teleportation channel. It must be Faang Yihai and the others. They had found someone to deal with him through other means.
These people wouldn't give up until they killed Lin Hao.
These assassins were always hiding in the dark. If Lin Hao let his guard down for a moment, they would be like cheetahs, launching their most powerful deadly attacks at Lin Hao at lightning speed.
After another quarter of an hour, Lin Hao passed by a place where there was not even grass. When he stepped on the dry and cracked ground, Suddenly, he jumped up into the air.
At this moment, a sharp sword with blood grooves on both sides stabbed out of the ground where Lin Hao had just landed. The ground exploded and a figure rushed out.
After this figure rushed out from the ground, it immediately became somewhat distorted, and then disappeared into thin air.
Lin Hao, who was standing in the air, coldly shouted, and swept his sword towards the spot in front of him where there was nothing.
A clear sound was heard. The figure that had just disappeared was hit by Lin Hao's sword and fell to the ground.
Lin Hao slowly landed on the ground. He looked at the figure wearing the blood-red mask and said, "Soul Blood Hall!"
This mask was a very obvious symbol.
Ten thousand years ago, Lin Hao had known about Soul Blood Hall. He had even brought a sword with him and slaughtered his way to the headquarters of Soul Blood Hall, killing Hall Master and causing countless experts of Soul Blood Hall to pee in their pants.
However, when Lin Hao destroyed the headquarters of the Soul Blood Hall, there was no way for him to completely eradicate this force from the True Martial World. They were like rats with strong vitality, difficult to eliminate. Once they encountered a huge blow, they would hide and secretly accumulate their strength. After a period of time, they would emerge again.
"You are able to avoid my previous trap and come here, and even discover my assassination. You are indeed a little special. No wonder someone is willing to buy your head with a thousand Origin Core Stages even though you are merely a Origin Core Stage Fifth Stage of Cultivation. "
Lin Hao looked at the assassin from the Soul Blood Hall and said, "You have forgotten the most important thing about being an assassin. "
The assassin from the Soul Blood Hall didn't deny it and nodded. "That's right. The trap that I set up at the beginning has already made you alert. But, you are just a mere Origin Core Stage level 5 cultivation. Killing you is easier than stepping on an ant. There is no need for me to deliberately hide and ambush you. "
The assassins of Soul Blood Hall had been nurtured since they were young. They were very good at hiding and assassinating, and they were very particular about killing with a single strike. The assassin in front of him was a Origin Core Stage level 7 cultivation. However, if he wanted to kill someone, even if the target was a Tenth Level of Elemental Core Stage warrior, the success rate would be very high.1
However, he underestimated Lin Hao.
"Is that so?"
Lin Hao sneered. In the next moment, the assassin from the Soul Blood Hall lost track of Lin Hao.
A sense of danger suddenly emerged in the assassin's heart. He finally understood that he had underestimated Lin Hao, but it was too late for regrets now.
The sword light appeared in front of the assassin.
It was so fast that he didn't even have time to react.
The assassin heard the familiar sound of a sharp blade piercing through flesh.
Then, he smelled the same familiar scent of blood.
In the past, every time he killed his opponent, there would be this type of sound, this type of smell appearing.
However, the one who was killed this time was himself.
Blood spurted out from the assassin's throat and blossomed in front of his eyes.
Finally, the assassin's body fell down powerlessly, and all the Auras were gone.
Lin Hao didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground. He turned around and left. When the assassins of Soul Blood Hall carried out an assassination mission, they would only carry those items with them. Lin Hao didn't need them at all, so he didn't even have the interest to take the Lin Haos from the assassin's hands.
The matter this time involved the Soul Blood Hall, and it had become much more complicated.
After the assassins of Soul Blood Hall received the mission, as long as their target wasn't dead, they would send out a steady stream of assassins.
A mission with 1,000 Upper-class Essence Stone would last for three months. If they couldn't succeed after three months, the mission would be canceled automatically.
If it were some high level missions, the duration would be as long as three years and five years, or even hundreds or thousands of years.
When Lin Hao killed the assassin from the Soul Blood Hall.
In a dark hall, there were several rows of oil green flame burning lamps. This was one of the Sub Hall of the Soul Blood Hall in Eastern State. The name of the lamp was Soul Lamp, and it was closely related to the assassin from the Soul Blood Hall. When the Soul Lamp was extinguished, it meant that the assassin who left the Soul Lamp behind had failed and died.
As the Soul Lamp was extinguished, a man wearing a blood red mask who was guarding the Soul Lamp waved his hand and condensed a wisp of spiritual energy. He then inserted it into another Soul Lamp and assigned the task of assassinating Lin Hao.
